NEOEdSAItY DISCIPLINE
Tho rooeut decisi his givsi n re
the captain and inato of the bark
Hepor aud in re a negro sailor on
hoard the sebnon r Admiral have
caused a stir among the masters of
ships in this fort We claim that
discipline is more necessary on
board ashipeven than in tho armyor

the ship a small community of emm
ia gathered facing the peril nf the
sea and thore arj moment- when
the head the boss if you lik the
word better mmt act without en

ignorant aailor and if nocBssirr

killing a rofrautory siihr whoso re
find to obey would havo meint the
doath of every sjuI on board tin
ehip It ia not a joke to bd on the
high seas with a crow you do not
know and an occasional blow
struck in the right momont may
save mauy good aud true men from
disaster Thit some niasers of
hips are cruel aud brutal may be
tru bu wlu u thenind tura the
Bails into rags and tlio waves try to
engulf tho ship to the uiinio of tho
howling hurricane no miu can
palaver with a cowardly skunk in
tho crew who disobeys order A
knock dowu blow by the nearest bo
laying piu or if ueie ury a bullet
is all what is ueuled and af or that
Honolulu justice as it if Djlad
out
Wo tako tho liberty to priut tho
following interview which appeared
in an evening paper a few days ao
It read
The shipping fraternity in this
port are watching with tho keenest
interest the progress of the cato
now prtoding in tho Fnderal Court
of the bark PL sper Wueu Capt P
U So iorgrou wts sentenced to fix
and his first mate to eight moutha
imprisonment it oauod quit a stir
Tho tfeuse was that of striking a
sailor on the high sea
io wliou on April 27th the Ame
rican sdioouer Admirtl arrived
hero from N iwoaalla N S W with
anothor cao foi tho attention ff
tho Federal Ojur but with tho
cailor thin time as tho defeudnt
aud tho oincon of the said vmsel as
poniplaiuaut cousitferablo interest
wn felt bv tho ohip masters in port
and otiHrs cotiforued in shipping
matters a to hnwjuitioe tondbo
administered in tho two caos
It nppoais that in the ei of the
schooner Admiral it whs a vicious
negro ho pleaded guilty to having
assaulted tho oilier of the watch
aud later on threatouel to take tbo
life of tho master lis nai ron
teucod to throo moutha imprison
ment aud although il was known
that ho an ex criminal win by Ida
own saying has Hcrvcd a tiiu for
manslaughter Y t in tho eye of
the law in Honolulu ho is only a
child
To an unprejudiced landsman it
would seem that a master of a ves
sel who is entrusted with lb lirca
of all on bard not mentioning the
value of cargo and vessel should
stand an quel chanco of justice in
tho eye of tho liw with hi sailors
For it se- rn to bo a fa r gu is that
iu order to bouumo and remain a
master ho must he more intelligent
and on an average f betttr prin
i iples th in til sailor
In tho cae of the Hospr tho
term a sailor is only a child aboard
of a ship has been frequently
hoard Granted that ho is only a
child though what is seen of him
in port a vry fractious child but
if wo infer that a sailor h nothing
but a child wo mint nUo infr that
uia officers stand to him iu tho posi
tion of a parent
Dopb it not seem that when a
child strikes its paout it should be
punished at least as muoh as when
tun parent strikes tho child
Tho whol shipping f aeruity is
looking a the two decisions and
while they offer up s silent pravor
of thanks to the r Makr thai Ho
nolulu is l ut a small part of tho
Uuited Ststef they wonder at the
justico they have eean administered
here
Wo certainly want the sailor pro
tected ngaiust any master who may
beinreaonabe or cru sl but wo de
cidedly think that every rtourt
should upheld the mater of a ship
who in reason enforces tho nocos
sary discipline ou board his vessel
TOPICS OF THE DAY
